HTML5 Placeholders version 1.2.1

Provides a plugin to simplify working with HTML labels and HTML5 placeholders in form input tags. This plugin aims to simplify development of forms in which you want display input tags with HTML5 placeholders instead of label tags on clients that support HTML5 but fall back to label tags when the placeholder attribute isn't supported. You code your forms with standard label elements and then invoke this plugin to convert those labels into placeholders in screen reader friendly manner. The plugin operates using progressive enhancement to provide backwards compatibility with browsers lacking placeholder support.

Release version 1.2.1

Added bower component

Added support for form inputs containing non-word chars The Spring Framework, for example represents nested paths using dot notation (e.g. order.address.firstName). Previous versions would fail when such fields were encountered. This change encloses the field name in quotes to fix the issue.
